Good Eats S4E7P1: A Chuck For Chuck

[SimuLord]

Good recipe and all, but as my brother (also in his thirties) pointed out, "The doctor said to eat less red meat and I'm not wasting my ration on pot roast when there's steak to be cooked."

[quiggibub]

Raisins? Yuck.

[zizwop]

@quiggibub Yeah, I've done this recipe and left out the raisins.

[BillsNewGuitar]

That's a lot of groceries for 10 bucks!

[QueenBoadicea]

When I think of Branson, MO, I think of that Simpsons episode "Bart on the Road", when Bart and his traveling companions stopped in Branson to see Andy Williams. Homer believes it's what Las Vegas would be like if it were run by Ned Flanders. Brrrr...

[BH206L3]

@QueenBoadicea Yep Branson is Las Vegas run by Ned Flanders!!

[QueenBoadicea]

@BH206L3 Oh, really? o.O You're stating this from travelling experience or do you live there? I'm not being sarcastic only curious.

[BH206L3]

@QueenBoadicea Not at all been there a few times. Sort of having a little fun.

[Arkenarge]

his trailers not bad :D

[livetolovesome182]

this episode makes me laugh

[khesed]

Chuck and Lucky are two of my favorites in this show.

[CDMJDMHHC]

old is gold

[FrostbittenWolf]

You know they make Chuck out to be an idiot, but i really was popular in college for being the single most talented chef in my dorm. A lot of students really were hopeless idiots like Chuck.

..and this was Cornell for fucks sake. We were supposed to be the brightest in the state of New York, all of them rendered hopeless in the face of one man who watched this show obsessively.

[cjoylicious83]

OLD IS GOLD!

[Celestyal22]

@cjoylicious83 Believe me it is! I've got a Cast Iron dutch over that's older then me and is still ticking. LOVE that thing!

[Crunchy68]

I love Chuck. He's so cute with his floppy hair!

[katkick703374]

The butcher said you can no longer get a bone in cut of meat. When I asked for a blade cut piece of chuck he pointed me to nice looking meat, but maybe the reason mine came out tough and chewy? I'm disapointed but will try a different recipie

[Crunchy68]

@katkick703374 I get bone-in meat all the time. Try going to a different butcher if yours is so limited and refuses to offer what you want.

[katkick703374]

I tried this and I must have done something wrong. Meat was chewy and tough. Sorry, but I didn't like it. Not sure what I did wrong ($9.98 mistake whatever it was)

[Crunchy68]

@katkick703374 If the meat was well-sealed so it didn't lose it's juices, the only thing I can think is that it needed to cook longer, to allow the connective tissue to gelatinize. Low and slow. The bone is nice for gelatin, but not essential. You could try a dutch oven or crock pot.. Different, but still good.

[BH206L3]

Abbott and Costello who's on first gag, love it!

[april97cobra]

LMFAO!!!! Branson Missouri!!!!

[hereslookinaukid]

is this "chuck" supposed to be chuck from the show Chuck, wow too many chucks lol.

but yeah the guy playing him is acting a lot like the guy who plays the character chuck

[gr8fzy1]

"Rub on? Rub on............preeeetty..."

[accoraldivad25]

Chuck looks like a junkie

[RainOnTheWindow]

The cowcake is so cute!

[whitefire64]

i tried the recipe. it's different but good. i cut the vinegar in half, and it was still too acidic for me, though

[whitefire64]

tried it again following to the letter and loved it. i had skipped the raisins cause i usually hate them, but they work to cut the acidity. this is one of my favorite recipes now :)

[TullyMurphy2]

i love the rock, paper, scissors at the end xD

[marieariel]

I wonder if they got the idea for Take Home Chef from this episode : )

[trumbachd1]

Chuck's place looks a lot like mine!

good idea to show that you can cook in adverse circumstances.

[ebwarg]

Why do the grocery bags always have baguettes sticking out of them?

[nanjokoji]

;) that's how you know it's groceries and not moonshine

[RevHBSnood]

@ebwarg Because baguettes are awesome.

[bello787878]

laggy

[mortson978]

the first time I saw this i caught it about halfway through. I thought they were stranded in the wilderness with a trailer, a slab of meat, and meager supplies otherwise.

[copyandpaste82481]

chuck bass

[FiSHareFRiENDSnotFUD]

that cake looked good. so does the chuck :3

[Jgaldragon]

Poor Chuck looks like he's having a breakdown the whole time

[Hadra568]

@Jgaldragon

well, his mum did ditch him on pot roast night for Tony Orlando

[MrNgMichael]

or cock potless pot roast

[poker720]

thats my line

oh im sorry

[TsunamiWombat]

Ahh poor CHuck.

[thanatos643]

lol... who's on first?

[crazychris013]

I am making this right now and I cant wait for it to get done. YUMMM

[aznshrimp90]

chuck looks crazy but hes funny

[Voodoofreak35]

Thanks, it really illuminates my understanding of the Chuck cut. I am a college bodybuilder who has a very low budget on including huge amount of beef in my diet. I usually choose the top blade part without much "fat strips".

[Zephilindrum]

"Take your heaviest lightest skillet"

What? x.x

[codybird34]

I think he said Heaviest "widest" skillet

[DinoMartini]

Yeah, definitly Widest.

[thoughtLayer7]

"Chuck, actually that's chicken."

Wow. ^^;

[calicore]

Chuck is cute :)

[cjthemusicman]

thank you.....LOL! :)

[jcdraws]

I love this show -- thanks for posting!

[otheofoolo]

I love the traveling seasoning kit. lol

[enishicz28]

technically, pot roast isnt a roast at all, it's more like braised chuck

[JJSanfeliu]

isnt the recepie pot less pot roast

[Gangway1111]

Isn't that the same chuck as chuck the neighbor butcher from "true Brew" ?

[BlazeGamma]

Yep. and he's the same guy from the pickle episode. He has a digital camcorder sized camera there. Odd considering he has a trailer. Maybe he got fired for incompetence.

[jedilora]

Aw, this was the first episode I ever saw. Saw the rest later on, but I hadn't realized how late in the game I'd gotten into the show.

[NY4Life]

Chuck Rocks!

[grahambcp]

Hurray for Chuck!!

[r1ngu]

LOl i concur

[TIAAVENDEALANTIN]

yay! Chuck rocks
